The purpose of this community is sort of a "work out your frustrations by letting it all out" where different leftist tendencies can vent their frustrations with one another and more assertively and directly challenge one another. Hostility is allowed, but any racist, fascist, or reactionary crap wont be tolerated, nor will explicit threats.

I love how he takes critique as "more points to try to discredit this project". Something to be "thrown out", rather than actually leveled. This... Is exactly what I'm talking about when I drag settlers for filth. He performs no self-criticism, and his analysis is RIDDLED with WILLFUL blind spots that he paternalistically cudgels his reader into accepting. There will be no grand "project" like he thinks there'll be.

The Mises Caucus will use this "opportunity" to launder reputations they've tarnished online, leap into the electoral landscape, and continue rotting Amerika out like a bad tooth-- and as soon as Shea and the cracker barrel brigade are no longer useful to the Mises libertarians, they'll be cut loose with no pretense of loyalty or gentility, because the behavior of an animal's all those dictator-aspirants know.

"Leftier than thou", that's all his shit reads as anymore. And now that I'm thinking about it? Three guesses; who else do we know who starts screeching about "purity fetishism" around this time every four years?
